Lake Books in Stationery Business Directory

 

In 1989, the first Function Associates (Lake Books) catalog of numismatic literature was mailed to several hundred collectors. That mail-bid sale consisted of 602 lots in 22 pages and featured the Redbook collection of Harry X Boosel. Now in its 18th year, Lake Books has issued nearly ninety sales with some 70,000 lots of numismatic reference material being listed. The customer base has increased to almost nineteen hundred collectors and the distribution list circles the Earth. The consignor list has grown to several hundred people encompassing all areas of the numismatic experience. A complete list of the sales is available at the link to the left marked Past Sales. As a coin collector, Fred Lake was keenly aware of the value of having research material available to consult. The old Aaron Feldman dictum, Buy the Book Before the Coin, was reinforced by visits to the coin shop of Frank and Laurese Katen. The Katens stressed the importance of education in numismatics and they became good friends and advisors over the years. Frank can best be described as the mentor who fostered the growth of our present endeavours. He is missed as good counsel.
